Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", which became the first conceptual album in the history of rock music, where its form and content served to fulfill one idea. One of the most extraordinary songs from that album was "A Day In The Life". Recording it, musicians used a symphonic orchestra. The main secret of The Beatles was in their love for music. They were creating their famous albums, playing and enjoying unusual and unexpected music and sound effects. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the last significant work of that band, which was created by common efforts. In summer 1967 Bryan Abstain died because of a great dose of sleeping-draughts. It was the beginning of the end of the band’s career. Even though, musicians did not want to stop their work and planned to work on 2 great projects, one of which was the cartoon "Yellow Submarine".

The Beatles were privileged with instances of opportunity that other bands may never see. It may be believed that any band may be able to sky rocket into the world of fame, but without the same amount of serious work, it may be difficult to attain the same level as the Beatles. Gladwell asks us if the ten-thousand-hour rule is a general rule of success. He uses this rhetorical questioning to allow us to believe that this rule can benefit our personal success.

The Beatles’ songwriting became more introspective and their music more sophisticated between Beatles VI and Rubber Soul. Influence from other artists in the music industry, the exhausting pressures of global fame, and the Beatles’ introduction to drugs influenced a change in their music during the “middle period” of the careers. While Beatles VI and Rubber Soul are vastly different from one another, both albums were released in 1965 and are considered a part of the Beatles’ “middle period.” During this period, the Beatles music began to shift from the sound of their earlier albums. Meeting artists like Bob Dylan was highly influential to the Beatles, and their music reflected this influence as they began recording more folk-inspired music
